Elements of the original Bland recording were used for the track "Guardian Angel" by hip-hop artist Wordsworth and "Lyrics Files" by Akhenaton from the soundtrack of French action-comedy Taxi.

Also in 2011, Joe Bonamassa and Beth Hart covered the song in their collaborative album, Don't Explain.

In 2012, Rebecca Ferguson covered the song on her Heaven Tour, and then the live version of the song was included in the re-release of her debut album, Heaven.
